Find Meetings

Meetings are where we find and share the message of recovery through AA’s Twelve Steps, where we learn
from hearing other people’s experience, strength, and hope, and where we begin to form important bonds of
fellowship. Meetings are going on in almost every city or town, at any time of day. You can find regularly
scheduled meetings in Eastern Massachusetts through Central Service’s Meeting Finder here, and virtual
meetings through the Online Intergroup of AA, here. You can also find meetings through Meeting Guide, an
app available through Google Play or the Apple App Store.

“The Big Book”

Alcoholics Anonymous, nicknamed “The Big Book,” is the basic text of AA. The Big Book outlines the
program of recovery through the Twelve Steps and contains the personal stories of recovered
alcoholics from all walks of life. You can order a copy of the Big Book for $9.95 here, or read it for free
online in PDF format here. The Big Book is also available as a free audiobook or as a video in
American Sign Language.
